Has anyone else in North Central Vic been plagued by numerous small frogs, in watering cans, buckets, all over verandahs, climbing up windows (and pooing all over them too)? They come into the house and are mostly uncatchable to put out again, so we find little mummified lumps of desiccated frog around the place.

Hopefully not Cane Toads? I was at a rural property near Esk in QLD a while back and you’d have thought the ground was moving, there was so many baby Cane Toads hopping around.
80
I hope they aren’t this far south! We are a couple of hours from Melbourne.
50
It could be worse.
They could be Cane Toads. But then that’d be a sign of ………..
failed CSIRO science.

Cane toads in Esk? I’d be surprised. Hint: Not all frogs are green.
If there are frogs eggs in a puddle and they are in a clump, they are frogs, toads are in strings.
30
Young cane toads have pointed snouts. Frogs are rounded.
30
Sure there are Cane Toads in Esk, also a little further south. I live south of Brisbane and we see plenty in the garden. I highly doubt there are any around Melbourne though. They might get there one day.

Do they keep demanding campari and baguettes with a good runny cheese?

Pretty well an annual event at my place Annie. The little buggers really annoy the dog and visitors are quite intrigued when I advise them to “flush” first as they often appear under the rim. ( I won’t explain how they get there, lets just say its not the way I’d like to travel) Lots of croaking ( the frogs not the inhabitants) some nights. They tend to stay around until the first really cold night, then off to hibernate for the winter. Just something else on the long list of things that worry any international visitors.
40
Annie that sounds pretty awefull hope you can cope ..

We have had them in previous years but not so many for so long. Not seen under the rims, so far! The next treat in store maybe.
What an array of wildlife here. Lately the Portuguese millipedes have returned, so have the black crickets, so have some huge huntsman spiders.
The birdlife is highly varied and well into the fruit trees too. 🙁
40
Don’t worry about the frogs Annie, it is the snakes that are hunting them you have to worry about.
We get a few or a lot in different years here in SE Qld., depending on when there was standing water for them to breed in. They are attracted to the house lights & moths on windows, hence climbing on windows. When there are a lot of them the snakes increase around the house. Do be careful.
60
Throwing a hand towel over them is the best way to catch them.
10
That’s been my main worry, snakes around the house. Fingers crossed, none seen so far but they must be around. We’ve had eastern browns, tigers, copperheads and red-bellied-black snakes around the place at various times in the past. Fairly recently we’ve had 2 large blacksnakes, one large brown near the house and a fat tiger full of chooks’ eggs in the chook house!
40
Indeed Hanrahan. I wrote an earlier reply but it’s in the sin bin atm.

Trouser snakes are to be avoided

We have then all the time in the warmer months Annie, but then we have a pond next to the house. Rare for one to make it indoors but we do find them alive and dead all the time when doing stuff outside.
30
There are loads more of everything since the floods in the spring, although the surface dried right out over summer. DD has had very many snakes after being flooded for 35 days where she is. She lost a lovely kelpie to a snake. Her birdlife is now thriving on all the insects and other assorted small creatures.

Seriously, you couldn’t make this sh1t up!
“Τhe Prime Minister of Estonia asked Russians to take anti-Russian sanctions more seriously. “Russians allow themselves to joke on the Internet about each new package of sanctions, they openly mock our work. I beg them to take this seriously and show at least some respect… The approval of each package of sanctions against Russia is a complex process that involves all EU members. It takes weeks, months to approve new sanctions… ”

Population of 1.33 million, so the whole place is the population of Adelaide and the capital Talin is 426,000.
Confused place. Historically Swedish, Polish, Russian and German it has only existed as a separate country since 1918. Language and culture mostly Finnish which is only a short boat trip across the Gulf of Finland, of course. The Estonian doctors commute to Finland (population 5.5million) because the income is higher and the patients commute to Estonia because the costs are lower. And like their neighbours, they have an odd relationship with both Russia and Germany, like the meat in a sandwich.

It needs dental work, where mine is appropriately taped up.
And Senator Gerard Rennick has been in a dialog. I am looking to get a .gov address and a few professors together, CO2 Commission like Flannery’s CLimate Commission to publish the fossil CO2 correctly as 3.0% of CO2 not 30%.
And of course 56% of the 3.0% is from China, so why Australia should cripple itself is absurd. And to call CO2 pollution is madness itself because if the ‘pollution’ stopped, all life on earth would cease. I would call that essential not pollution.
My idea is that even Albanese might back something which hit the Greens below the ozone layer.

Jennifer Marohasy seeks parallel temperature data.
‘The reliability of any historical temperature reconstruction becomes difficult because of the emotion and also, after 1 November 1996 in Australia, the transition away from mercury thermometers.
‘To satisfy my own curiosity, and sort out the possible mess, I would so like access to the parallel data, which are the measurements from mercury thermometers in the same weather stations as the new probes recording with automatic weather stations.’
150
haven’t even digitized the data per what i read at JM blog,
if so, there is no way to judge the reliability of the thermometer record post 1996.

Transgender’s Rampage at Nashville Christian School
(Update: 23:42ET): Moving swiftly as they investigate Monday’s mass shooting by female-to-male transgender Audrey Hale that killed three children and three adults at a Christian school, Metro Nashville Police have posted video of Hale shooting her way into the building and then methodically stalking around within it.

‘Trans Radicals’ Plan ‘Day Of Vengeance’ In D.C. Alongside Firearms Training
A group of transgender activists is planning a “Day of Vengeance” in Washington, D.C., for March 31-April 2 while raising money for firearms training this week, according to its online materials.
The Trans Radical Activist Network (TRAN) said on Twitter that “The time is now, enough is enough,” and uploaded posters to TikTok that said, “We want more than visibility. Trans Day of Vengeance. Stop trans genocide. Save the date: April 1st – 11:00 AM / March 31st – TBA.”
The self-professed Virginia chapter of the group said on Twitter that it would host a dance party at a Richmond club on Tuesday to raise money “benefiting firearm/self defense training for trans Virginians. Come boogie with us and defend trans life!”

It’s years overdue to get them the (non-liberal) mental health help they desperately need.

But “love is love”….
All this nonsense was going to stop when same sex marriage was allowed, so they promised.
As I said at the time, that was only the beginning.
Now the Left are routinely mutilating and sterilising children with transgender procedures and censoring vast numbers of stories of transgender regret.
Tragically the mutilation and sterilisations are irreversible, I don’t even think they tell the victims that, or that their pretend genital organs are non-functional.
Look on YouTube for recent videos about the tragedy of “America’s youngest transgender”, Jazz Jennings, a transgender child, a boy, whose dominating mother and aunt made him believe he was a girl and presumably profited from the associated reality TV series. (He is now a legal adult.)

Get Ready For WOKE Medicine And WOKE Doctors Who Don’t Know Anatomy, Working On WOKE Patients With Make-Believe Anatomy
You can’t make this stuff up. The “woke” movement is taking over the medical industrial complex, and is now beginning to screen trans-women (men pretending to be women) for cervix cancer, and even create medicine through artificial intelligence for biological men who can… wait for it… get pregnant. The new “science” means all doctors and scientists must conform to believe in fake gender switching or be deemed prejudiced bigots, and face possible termination of their job, loss of licensing, and loss of all funding. That also means medical colleges must use medical books that teach that men can have babies, breastfeed, and get cervical cancer. This is the future of (fake) medicine, thanks to the “woke” movement.
Woke medical movement wants TRANS women (biological men) to be screened for cervical cancer
The Canadian Cancer Society is now recommending trans-women consider screenings for “neo-cervix” cancer, meaning doctors and scientists are already trained to do this, believe in this, support this, and make a fortune performing it.

Eraring power station is currently delivering 2,700 MW every evening when the sun isn’t shining and 2,000 MW during the day, to help meet NSW demand of 6,000 to 9,000 MW. Wind delivers just 600 MW and solar 1,300 MW on average. What is going to keep the lights on in NSW when Eraring closes in 2025? No more gas, just more unreliables.
100
Better tell the incoming government quickly. Nah, we’ll blow it up anyway.

On local radio this morning was the claim that household solar was producing more power that coal. (Don’t know where this was supposed to be) No mention of course that solar stops at night, supplies power when its least needed i.e. midday, or can drop away to nothing with the passing of a cloud, but certainly touted as the way for households to save Money and new systems had a very short pay back period.. Hmmmm

The latest patter on the Covid outbreak, the authorities have fingered Raccoon dogs at the Wuhan wet market.
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/mar/28/being-truthful-is-essential-scientist-who-stumbled-upon-wuhan-covid-data-speaks-out
01
Alex Washburne (who did the excellent study last October on artificial cleavage sites found in the virus) says this is mere junk coincidence. So they found dog DNA at wet markets? It proves nothing at all other than there were dogs at the wet market.
If raccoon dogs were the missing link we would see infections in them with a form of Covid that had many similarities (genetically) with SARS-2. No one has found any missing links.

I am surprised that nothing much has been made of the release of TGA (Australia’s incompetent and secretive pharmaceutical regulator) documentation from Pfizer about covid “vaccine” (sic) which was only released after a long battle of about two years by an anonymous Melbourne woman.
It should be front page news everywhere.
Presumably this is the same information that was provided to other countries.
There are still a lot of unacceptable redactions but the fools at TGA were probably too incompetent to realise the importance of some of what they left.

Tuesday ejukashun
Acyrologia
An incorrect use of words – particulately replacing one word with another word that sounds similar but has a diffident meaning-possibly fuelled by a deep-seeded desire to sound more educated, witch results in an attempt to pawn off an incorrect word in place of a correct one. In academia, such flaunting of common social morays is seen as almost sorted and might result in the offender becoming a piranha, in the Monday world, after all is set and done, such a miner era will often leave normal people unphased. This is just as well sense people of that elk are unlikely to tow the line irregardless of any attempt to better educate them. A small percentage, however, suffer from severe acyrologiaphobia, and it is their upmost desire to see English used properly. Exposure may cause them symptoms that may resemble post-dramatic stress disorder and, eventually, descend into whole-scale outrage as they go star-craving mad. Eventually, they will succumb to the stings and arrows of such a barrage, and suffer a complete metal breakdown, leaving them curled up in the feeble position.

I searched the comments on Jos last thread for a comment on the role of the media in allowing the “global patsy” to develop and be sustained. To no avail. Really the fault for the lack of understanding of many in Australia and the closing down of debate and legitimate concerns about climate policy lies just as much at all your the feet of the mainstream media and the woke academia (which nurtures the journalists) as anywhere else. Im not sure how to turn this around but at least identifying the problem is a start.

10
No, wrong again. Rifles and edged weapons are clearly listed. Please read my comment again then read your own statistics.
00
The falsity, as you know, is that you are suggesting that knives are a growing threat and you use a weapon that has never been a big murder weapon (a rifle) to make it seem so. It is as bad as the constipation comment, and not ironically, it is a constipated comment.
by the way there is a new open thread. Your next tome on CO2 needs to be posted.

U.S. Department of Defense issued a contract for ‘COVID-19 Research’ in Ukraine 3 months before Covid was known to even exist
The world first started to hear about a novel coronavirus in early January 2020, with reports of an alleged new pneumonia like illness spreading across Wuhan, China. However, the world did not actually know of Covid-19 until February 2020, because it was not until the 11th of that month that the World Health Organisation officially named the novel coronavirus disease as Covid-19.
So with this being the official truth, why does United States Government data show that the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) awarded a contract on the 12th November 2019 to Labyrinth Global Health INC. for ‘COVID-19 Research’, at least one month before the alleged emergence of the novel coronavirus, and three months before it was officially dubbed Covid-19?
https://www.2ndsmartestguyintheworld.com/p/us-department-of-defense-issued-a-12a
At this stage of the game, we all know it was planned, we are just waiting for the fakevax ramifications to really start manifesting, and the next plandemic announcement which no-one will be gullible enough to play along with.

Dear Jonovians, how have you dealt with aging?
I’m starting to find things I did in earlier years becoming more difficult to do. Hopping over a low fence scissor-kick style. Remembering new facts with zero study time. Going out in the sun without needing to cover a bald spot. You know, the usual.
What is the right attitude to aging?
As food for thought I found this article about a very select minority who have to deal with aging a lot sooner than us less symmetric people. https://www.quora.com/How-do-pretty-women-feel-as-they-age-knowing-their-looks-are-fading/answer/Dev-1972?no_redirect=1
A different article emphasising the mind talks about some advantages such as (supposedly) being more resilient and knowing your own strengths and limitations better. https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/articles/199611/getting-over-getting-older
It is not merely a case of giving up whatever has become unrealistic, but there should be some other substitutions and compensations for whatever ability is being lost.

Interesting article in today’s SMH entitled
“Finally, we have closure on that horse drug ‘COVID cure’. Well, sort of”
“Finally, with the publication of two new studies, we now have the conclusive evidence we’ve lacked.”
The TOGETHER trial randomised patients with COVID-19 and who were at risk of severe illness, giving them either ivermectin or a placebo.
To understand their results, you need to know a little about “credible intervals”. In clinical trials, it is difficult if not impossible to know a result (like how effective a drug is) with 100 per cent certainty. Instead, papers will often report a range of values within which the true value most likely lies.
Anything less than one means ivermectin helps with COVID-19, and anything more than one means it makes the patient worse. TOGETHER reported a credible interval of 0.70 to 1.16 – suggesting it is probably doing nothing at all.
We can now add another study called ACTIV, whose latest paper is just out in JAMA. This one enrolled patients who had COVID, giving them either a placebo or ivermectin (in both normal and high doses).
Looking at the high-dose study, time to recovery was 11 days in both groups: no difference. Of those on ivermectin, 5.7 per cent were hospitalised or died, compared to 6 per cent in the placebo group.
“They are rigorously designed and multi-centre trials,” says David Henry. “The researchers are independent – they don’t have a vested interest, they haven’t expressed strong prior views.
“We now know this drug does not work for COVID-19.”
Fascinating stuff.

If only you read my site Ian. You’d know I’ve already explained exactly why the Together Trial looks like it was designed to fail.
Nine built in flaws, posted one year ago: https://joannenova.com.au/2022/03/how-to-design-a-study-to-fail-to-create-bad-pr-on-ivermectin-plus-a-lesson-in-white-lies-from-the-wall-street-journal/
How to design a study to fail:
So the big question Ian, given how deliberately bad this trial was, isn’t it obvious that Big Money had to fake reasons to scorn this threat to their profits? And given that, how silly do you feel being the tool that promotes the self-serving corruption of medical science? I mean, that can’t feel good.
241
Sorry Jo I do sometimes not look at your site for several days I will endeavour to be more au fait with your pieces tin the future

Thank you. But to the bigger point… what about ivermectin. What about rigged studies that are used to deceive and to hide safe alternatives?

Are you uttarly (sic) ignorant to the success in Uttar Pradesh?

06
As you are long enough reader here you should be aware about these tries to discredit ivermectin on a large scale.
In so far I have no idea why that “new” article should be of any interest.
90
“In so far I have no idea why that “new” article should be of any interest.”
The interest that as this “new” was published in the SMH and The Age it reached many Australians who may question the value of Ivermectin in treating Covid-19
06
preaching to the converted. !
10
Not sure who you mean by the converted. Those who consider Ivermectin is of value in treating Covid-19 or those that do not?
Presumably as the article stated Ivermectin was not useful you mean those that agree it is not useful
00
I am surprised that anti-Ivermectin propaganda, including the “horse dewormer” or “horse drug” meme is still being published such as in the article linked by Ian.
The scientific ignorance is truly profound.
As Dr Pierre Kory explained in his talk to the UAP covid conference, the effectiveness of Ivermectin against covid, when taken according to appropriate protocols is not up for debate, it’s proven.
Also, he said the real point of the war against Ivermectin is a war against “repurposed” inexpensive, off-label, out-of-patent drugs against extremely expensive offerings from Big Pharma.
He also discusses the origin and history of the anti-Ivermectin “horse dewormer” campaign.
Again, I am truly astonished that this anti-Ivermectin propaganda is still being pushed. Really!
Dr Pierre Kory’s talk on Ivermectin at the United Australia Party covid conference:
https://www.unitedaustraliaparty.org.au/video/dr-pierre-korys-speech-covid-vaccines-effects-tour-sydney-australia-2023/
60
It’s all clear, they knew, if a drug fighting COV-19 exists, no new vacc approval. So it had to be declared IVM doesn’t work. So the meme has to maintained.
80
“I am surprised that anti-Ivermectin propaganda, including the “horse dewormer” or “horse drug” meme is still being published such as in the article linked by Ian.”
Serious Sydney Morning Herald readers are not educated enough to recognise drug names… it is also likely that Liam Mannix, who wrote the piece, has completely zero science knowledge, so ‘horse dewormer’ is the only thing they recognise. His articles are always the most Socialist-leaning inner-Sydney non-science pieces you could come across.
It makes life easier when a term like that means you don’t have bother to read the article.
30
Dr Kory’s presentation was probably the trigger for the SMH article. And no discussion allowed by that “esteemed publication”.
(Their) mission accomplished.

Gilead doctors were very active to discredit HCQ, so I don’t wonder…

An open thread or two ago, someone expressed dismay at the number of people willing to support the self destructive policies of the left.
This is an interesting related read, I thought

A very good and thoughtful read. Thanks Yarpos.

I must agree with Annie, it’s more interesting than I expected when I clicked on it. I do suffer the bias he explains, anything a Govt says I immediately treat with suspicion. I thought it was a lifetime of observation that caused that.
“For centuries, elite academic institutions like Oxford and Harvard have been training their students to win arguments but not to discern truth, and in so doing, they’ve created a class of people highly skilled at motivated reasoning. The master-debaters that emerge from these institutions go on to become tomorrow’s elites—politicians, entertainers, and intellectuals.
Master-debaters are naturally drawn to areas where arguing well is more important than being correct— law, politics, media, and academia—and in these industries of pure theory, secluded from the real world, they use their powerful rhetorical skills to convince each other of FIBs.

A new statue atop a New York City courthouse. The artist says it’s part of an “urgent and necessary cultural reckoning underway as New York reconsiders traditional representations of power in public spaces and recasts civic structures to better reflect 21st-century social mores.”

There is a good article on this overtly political and pagan piece here:

Hey ?
“21st-century social mores.””
Its has female top half…. but doesn’t have the requisite “tackle” to be a representation of 21st-C social mores.

‘Train to Zero’ will use rail route for captured carbon. ‘Learn to be an Engineer and look what you can do to save the world’
A new project will use the East Coast Main Line to transport captured CO2 from a Yorkshire incinerator, carrying it to Teeside for storage and offshore disposal. “What could go wrong“

You can’t see CO2 (unless they add colour), so you’ll suffocate before you get the chance to run.

Albanese’s ‘Safeguard Mechanism’ is the most incredible attack on Australia and Australians in history, if you leave out health and education and the public service, insurance companies, telecommunications. But if you do anything, move anything, grow anything, make anything, you are a target.
Carbon dioxide is fact of chemistry, an essential part of concrete manufacture. Just as all smelting iron, lead, aluminum is the removal of oxygen to leave metals. To reduce concrete manufacture by 35% means to fire a lot of people and import it anyway. To shut down metal smelting is to destroy the heart of our manufacturing when BHP used to be Australia’s biggest business. Where’s the gain for anyone except China? How can you ban and tax chemistry, combustion?
And when did Carbon Dioxide, the gas of life, the gas without which life would not exist, become industrial ‘pollution’?
Green ecology is beyond chemistry and science in a realm of complete fantasy.
But the fact that no one talks about anyone but the top ten or top dozen means we need to see the rest.
Does anyone have the list of the ‘215 largest polluters’?
I know for example that V-Line in Victoria, the country rail line is one it with diesel trains. So it means train services down 35%.
And by the way, all the people of Australia would be on that list. And all the animals, sheep, kangaroos, camels.
It is gobsmacking that it has come to this, listing every business in Australia as a carbon polluter, including agriculture.
And who is going to supply these mythical Carbon Credits? China, the biggest ‘polluter’ in the world, more than all other countries combined will receive Australian cash to steal Australian jobs?
